The world turned upside-down

I can hardly breathe, I am so frustrated and outraged, and nauseated. The emotional roller-coaster I've been on for the last couple of days, waiting, hoping for Bush or at least Bloomberg, to show some sense and ban Ahmadinejad from U.S. soil beyond the boundaries of the UN, might as well have been the real thing, complete with a 500 foot vertical drop.

How else could I feel after reading this:

During his two-day sojourn in New York, the Iranian president, who will be accompanied by a group of high-ranking officials, is also scheduled to attend bilateral talks with several of his counterparts and meet Iranians residing in the US.

Ahmadinejad is also set to use a speech at a leading US university to challenge George W Bush at a time of high tensions with Washington over his country's pursuit of nuclear technology.

The invitation by New York's Columbia University to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is attracting growing criticism from the US hawks ahead of his arrival on Sunday.

Meetings with the survivors and bereaved families of the 9-11 incident, journalists and critics of the Bush administration are also included in Ahmadinejad's itinerary.

Who are these people, these "survivors and bereaved families?" Who ARE they? Have they gone completely insane in their grief? Or are they just proof that victimhood does not imbue one with intelligence or character if they were not there to begin with. Are they evidence that glorifying individual victims of an attack on our NATION enables crap like this?

I'm gonna go with YES, on all counts.
